A hookah is a water pipe with a water filter that is made to smoke shisha, with flavored tobacco. This instrument belongs to the wider category of smoking tools and is characterized by the reduced level of coal ash in the vapor.

It is a jar with a hosepipe. Its work is based on the principle of passing the tobacco vapor through the water reservoir and then inhaling it. It consists of a head, a hose, a purge valve, a glass jar.

Using Hookah

The process is inhaling tobacco. The function of the hookah is to filter the smoke with water. It can be performed both in the company and individually.

A water jar is in the bottom of the hookah. The jar should have enough water in it to submerge the tube into it, but excessive amounts of the liquid will make the inhalation process more difficult. The tobacco is in the top jar of the hookah, which is covered by the foil. The function of this foil is to reduce inhalation of the coal ash to a minimum and to lower the temperature of the tobacco.

The following steps can illustrate the process of using the hookah.

1. When a person inhales the vapor is inhaled through the hosepipe, the charcoal is pulled by the air into the bowl with the tobacco.

2. The air becomes heated by the vaporization of the charcoal. As the result the tobacco starts to burn together with the charcoal.

3. the smoke goes lower in the body tube that connects the bowl with the water jar. The vapor goes through the cold water and reduces its temperature.

4. Then, it passes into the attached hosepipe.

5. In the result, a person inhales the smoke (Persons 2015).

Hookah & cigarettes

As it was mentioned earlier, the functioning of the hookah is based on the principle of filtering the smoke with water, which allows to reduce the level of coal ashes in the smoke to a minimum. This way to smoke tobacco is usually considered to be less harmful for the lungs than the more traditional to the Western society way of smoking cigarettes. Even light cigarettes with filters still have a higher level of coal ashes that has a negative influence on the person's health that the hookah vapor. In addition, the smell of the hookah smoke is not that irritating and harmful for other people who do not participate in smoking, but can also smell it due to their proximity to the hookah.

On the other hand, the tobacco smoke is stronger in the hookah than in the traditional Western cigarettes. Its concentration has more influence on the smoker's psyche. A person might feel that this type of inhaling the tobacco vapor has a significantly better effect on his/her state. It is also necessary to note that the water filtration of the hookah cleans the tobacco only from the coal ashes, but the level of nicotine remains the same as it is in the cigarettes (Persons 2015). It allows to conclude that the impact of inhaling the tobacco vapor with the hookah is also bad for the smoker's health.
